Eddan, Sudoers,
There are two summaries from this meeting. One is from notes taken by Ben Provan of CollaborativeHousing.com, posted here: http://sl-co.com/meet-the-cio-hacker-maker-spaces/ and Debbie did a summary: http://sanleandronext.com/?p=1087 A local company, Direct Images, did the video but I'm not sure where it's posted. Their blog has some nice burning man shots tho' http://strategy.directimages.com/blog/
Also thanks for the head up on the Friday meeting on Open Culture. http://sl-co.com/open-culture/ Looking forward to bein' schooled by my friends (esp Ryan) to the slight north.

I agree with Pete's suggestion that the more neutral the event, the more credibility it could have.
Forwarding the only message I've received about this potential event. Removing details from the message below out of respect for the campaign's confidentiality. I will forward along the email address to whoever ends up being point person contact if there is support for Sudo Room to be involved in the event.

Following the Sudo Room norms of transparency - a value I hold in high regard and try to practice to the best of my ability - I am forwarding the invitation I received below from the Bryan Parker 2014 Oakland mayoral race campaign.
I have spoken with the campaign previously about the importance of tech policy to the future of economic development in downtown oakland. i have not contributed financially to the campaign - but feel comfortable sharing at this point that I am seriously considering supporting his candidacy. the fact that Bryan Parker made history by being the first candidate to crowdsource his initial fundraising seems like a significant acknowledgement and suggests to me an awareness of the power of peer production.
they are interested in holding a roundtable discussion sometime within the next couple months on the subject of innovation and technology.
i mentioned sudo room as a potential venue for this event and was planning on trying to move this discussion forward at the event tonight.
it is my intention to make the case that oakland's edge could and should be openness and co-operation in the further development.
i believe that there is a role municipal government can play in making this happen, in terms of both strategic investments and administrative regulations.

Dear Sudo folk.
For reasons now increasingly obvious to me, I am in need of a new host for my domain eddan.com.
I'd be willing to negotiate legal services in exchange for hosting my website and email.
And thanks for all the offline emails. As always, I should have been clearer in what I wrote. I am still awaiting the bar results at the end of November. And no, I don't know why it takes that long.

Subject: [Double-Union] Hello DU friends! We have a space!
To: "doubleunion(a)lists.doubleunion.org" <doubleunion(a)lists.doubleunion.org>
We have a lease and some keys, and will be talking tonight about our next
steps for Double Union!
Here are some photos and my brief description of where we're at:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/lizhenry/sets/72157636020454964/http://www.doubleunion.org/blog/
The next few weeks will be for our move-in and buildout, developing good
processes to manage the space, building access, and so on!
Lots of you have asked how you can contribute or get involved at this stage
and that may be in helping us move in and set up all our donated stuff. We
are scrounging for bookshelves and sturdy tables especially. Expect an
email asking for move-in help.... Or we may just have an open house time in
a week or so for visitors. We don't have "hours" established yet, but very
soon, like, tonight, all or most of the current members will have their
keys. So if you would like to visit as a guest it will be possible once
someone other than me has keys.
Press and bloggers want to talk with us already. We are not quite ready to
do that until there is more "there" there to talk about.
Also, check this out! Our Resident Anarchobrarian, or Anarch-archivist,
Rose, has started cataloguing our donated books on LibraryThing!

Cheers,
